Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 288
288 – Aftereffects
Han Jae-joong, who went to the hospital after an untimely cherry-blossom confession, heard shocking news.
That was the news that Yun Seol-hwa’s poison was incurable.
Hercules’ poison is so strong that modern medical techniques are useless. It seemed that even if they tried, they could only slow down the pain and the speed at which the poison spreads.
In fact, it was a poison that even the Hound’s absorption was useless. It was clear that it would be difficult to cure poison, which was not just a simple injury, with pure medical techniques without starlight.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the medical staff concluded that the poison would not cause death. This was a phenomenon that appeared because Yun Seol-hwa’s physical ability was superior to Hercules’ poison.
There was also a prediction that if she were an ordinary magical girl who did not reach supernova, she would have died shortly after being poisoned.
In other words, due to Yun Seol-hwa’s outstanding ability, he suffered from the pain of poison continuously and was unable to die.
What was even worse was that if you stabilized for a while, you could still move around to some degree even while addicted.
Even though I suffered from nightmare-like pain for the rest of my life, I could not give up hope that I could move.
The poison was like a curse.
“It’s just like before… it’s the same as before…”
Yun Seol-hwa fell into grief thinking about the time when she suffered from heart disease. My past self and my present self seemed to overlap.
‘Jaejoong will only be considerate of me again… like a piece of glass, careful… so as not to get hurt…’
What hurt her the most was Han Jae-joong’s attitude toward changing into this body rather than this sickly body. Recently, as she became healthier, she spoke more freely and gave more active skinship, but it was obvious that since she had been poisoned, she would go back to being treated like a princess during her school days.
He was not the type of person who would treat a patient harshly for the sake of a romantic relationship.
‘Bye bye, my beautiful first night plan… big…’
The long-awaited plan for the first night, aimed at taking advantage of Han Jae-joong’s relaxation when he was slightly relaxed after the battle with the powerful enemy named Argo Zari, was completely ruined.
“…It’s a folktale.”
“Sister….”
Han Jaejoong, who had no idea of the dark plan, gave him a sympathetic look.
If he knew that he became so depressed just because he couldn’t have s*x, he would have punched the patient or something, but fortunately, he doesn’t know what Seolhwa is thinking. It was a moment when Yun Seol-hwa’s image, which had been rapidly collapsing recently, was preserved.
However, Jo Ah-yoon was slightly aware of Yun Seol-hwa’s thoughts. A corner of pity was mixed with coldness.
‘Sister… please keep your mouth shut… don’t be a b*tch with an innocent face…’
I was a bit afraid that if I did that, the engagement would be broken off later.
Wait, if Han Jae-joong and Yoon Seol-hwa break off their engagement, won’t Han Jae-joong be free from then on? For a moment, such a delusion crossed my mind, but I soon remembered my loyalty to them and erased it.
‘I am a younger brother… a loyal younger brother…’
Jaejoong Han and I are siblings… I repeated that kind of self-brainwashing.
“I’m sorry… I’m going to… rest for a bit…”
“Sulwha…!”
“I’m so sorry Jaejoong… I wanted to spend more time with you (usually at night)…”
“Why are you sleeping, but I’m leaving you a will? Sleep well.”
Not long after receiving painkillers, Seolhwa Yoon fell into a quiet sleep with grief.
Vivid tears flowed from the eyes covered with eyelids.
Battle of Argo.
Despite the fight against a strong enemy called the Galactic Monster, the fact that no one died was a great success, but it could not be considered a complete victory.
Just like the poison engraved on Yun Seol-hwa, a curse was engraved on others as well. It was mental pain, not physical pain.
“…Then, what should I do from now on?”
Jason, the main body of the Argo, was in agony. Half of it was the agony of atonement. As the constellation of Argo, I was worried about how I could atone for the sin of causing suffering to so many people.
The other half was agony over dreams.
“If dreaming is a sin… then what should I dream about…”
The identity of the monster is that he is a dreamer. But his dream of Argos, which was his true self, was denied. The dream itself was a sin. If it’s a dream you shouldn’t have, it’s as if it never existed in the first place.
So what kind of dream should you have? What answer is this life for?
Even though he regained his memories, he was still a lost child. A monster who couldn’t find his dream. A castaway on the open sea with a compass.
How should your star shine?
That agony lingered endlessly in my head.
“I couldn’t do anything….”
Silver Luna also had agony.
“Nothing in this fight….”
He even confessed and declared that he would play an active part in this fight, but it was all about wasting time and being a petty opponent. She was weak and not much help.
There is no excuse for the appearance of a powerful enemy called Hercules. The place where there were countless monsters of heroic constellations was a true demonic world. He wouldn’t have been able to perform well against anyone.
“I… how should I repay you for my kindness…”
The huge debt that arose in her heart weighed her down.
“Ssi haircut….”
There was someone who had similar concerns. Orange Altair. It was Ara.
“When will I awaken to divinity?…”
Like Silver Luna, she was someone who did not do much in the fight against Argo Zari. There was a time when she gave up on her own potential and was jealous of others and put them down, but now she has a desire to improve.
I want to become better. I want to protect more people. I want to be helpful to someone. That kind of improvement.
“I have no idea what the healing arrow was that you were talking about… Ugh… I’m not sure.”
Amundsen did offer several ideas for her arrow abilities. But if she could make arrows as easily as she said she would have already had Magical Girl-chan.
The detection ability and support ability from sniping are enough to help. But that alone is not enough.
“…Me too, like Ayun….”
She became greedy.
And there was one person who was as greedy as her.
From noble mtl dot net
‘How do men… seduce men…?’
It was Baek A-hee.
-How do you seduce a wealthy man?
└This is not a crazy b*tch.
└Block aggro.
Even if I asked on the internet, I couldn’t find the answer.
‘You even knew my heart… How…?’
It was truly questionable.
‘I’m sure it’s never been revealed until now…?!’
You must have always treated me with the same distance you would towards your father or brother, so how did you notice romantic feelings for me? After all, a man with a fiancé is different.
‘…He’s my rival as expected. It seems like he has a perfect understanding of people’s psychology…!’
As his psychological counselor, I can’t fall behind.
Baek A-hee pledged to fully understand Han Jae-joong’s psychology and make him her prisoner.
Anyway, the aftereffects of the fight were deep.
The battle against a powerful enemy brought various agony to many people.
The ghost ship sank to the bottom of the sea, but its traces have not yet disappeared.
Just like that, the first night of the ghost ship sinking beneath the sea arrived.
**
That night. Han Jae-joong stopped by the dorm and discovered an unexpected person.
“Why are you here?”
“Ah, you’ve finally arrived.”
Baek A-hee was in front of the door of the dorm.
“I thought I was going to stay away for a while because I was embarrassed.”
“It was definitely very embarrassing… but the best magical girls don’t run away just because of embarrassment!”
“I’m proud of you.”
Han Jaejoong passed her lightly, then pushed open the door and pulled the door to close again.
“Then see you later.”
“Wait… just wait…!”
bang! Just before the door closed, Baek Ah-hee put her hand through the gap and stopped it.
“Why are you ignoring me? Please let me in too!”
“Hey, it’s late at night. “Go to sleep.”
“Well, that’s because he still has excitement left in him….”
Shocked, Han Jae-joong strengthened his pull on the door.
“Hey, my hand hurts.”
“Oh, no, not that excitement! The excitement of the fight! “The excitement after the fight!”
“Okay, okay. “At first, it leads to other excitement and so on.”
“Well, it’s okay if we have a little after-party…!!”
Han Jaejoong continued speaking while holding the door handle with the same strength.
“Oh my. If you confessed earlier and just said it was an after party, how would I believe it? “I see you as a wolf now.”
“Well, is it that cool?!”
“No, it looks sinister.”
“Eh… Where can there be someone as pure as me…”
Do you have no conscience? Han Jaejoong, who remembered her words and actions so far, frowned at her.
“Anyway, I have to go to the hospital early tomorrow. “You should sleep and go back to Korea.”
The number of nurses in the hospital room was limited to one. Han Jae-joong returned to the dorm because Yoon Seol-hwa had requested that Jo Ah-yoon be the nurse tonight.
Since they are of the same gender, it is probably easier to get help with washing or bathroom problems. Han Jaejoong accepted the request without saying anything.
“Oh, my hand is really hurt. Let go quickly.”
Han Jaejoong sighed as if he were tired. He wanted to go in and rest right away. It is the day he finished the battle. Today, I worked hard and my belt and body were clearly tired. Rest was urgent.
[Jaejoong, get rid of that b*tch quickly. You should sleep with me.]
‘Don’t treat me like a kid.’
[If you treat me like I’m older, I’ll quit too.]
‘That might be a bit difficult.’
[I’ll sing you a lullaby later, cute Jaejoong.]
There was no time to engage in a battle of wits with Baek Ah-hee. There was even a liquor bottle or beer can in the bag she brought with her. It looks like he’s planning on drinking her alcohol, so how can he let her in?
“Ahi, for the last time….”
When giving a final warning and trying to apply more force to the door handle. Baek Ah-hee continued speaking as if she was in a hurry.
“Super, supernova! I have something to tell you about my supernova! “I feel a little out of control…”
At that moment, Han Jaejoong’s hand holding the handle stopped. It works. Baek A-hee continued the topic.
“Do you really have to say that today?”
“Yes, yes… I thought I might suddenly run out of control while I was sleeping…”
“…It’s not a lie, right?”
“Of course! Would I, who would become the best magical girl, lie? “Look at these eyes!”
Red eyes that sparkle like stars. There didn’t seem to be any darkness in those eyes.
“….”
Han Jaejoong began to worry for a moment. The problem of supernova control was a serious one.
Especially if she had a record of destroying the world in the original work.
She, who had just awakened to supernova today, certainly seemed to have many problems. Her outburst personality, overload, etc.
“…just 30 minutes?”
“Of course!”
In the end, Han Jaejoong opened the door for her.
At that moment, Baek Ah-hee’s eyes turned sharp. Her pure sparkle became slightly dull.
‘…as planned!’
She picked up the bag she had placed next to her. She had a heavy bag containing several alcoholic beverages. I was planning to drink all this alcohol here today.
**
Seolhwa Yoon looked at the moon outside the window. The soft light came through the window and sparkled. The dreamy atmosphere of the night remained the same even when the country changed.
Night makes people emotional. Is it because I thought everything would be covered in this darkness? Secrets often leak out at night.
“Are you not sleeping yet?”
“Uhm… I have something to talk about.”
Jo Ayun asked, setting up a cot next to her. Yun Seolhwa shook her head and smiled.
“Ayoon, what do you think of what Ahee said today?”
Seolhwa Yoon mentioned what Baek Ahee said before going to the hospital. About that shocking confession.
“Oh, that?”
“huh.”
“I… honestly felt like it was a bit rude? No, that’s right. That crazy b*tch… it’s not something to talk about in front of someone who owns it.”
“Hmm… I see?”
The corners of her mouth curved meaningfully in the moonlight.
“Still, Ayuna. “Isn’t that your story?”
“why.”
“If you think about it like that, does that make you a rude person too?”
Jo Ayun’s pupils got bigger.
“Your heart is similar to Ah-hee’s. “Isn’t that right?”
